Lackawanna Six

The Lackawanna Six was a group of six Yemeni-Americans from the Buffalo suburb of Lackawanna in New York who, in April 2001, attended an al-Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan after being motivated by a militant imam. They headed to Afghanistan, with some returning home early and some staying the course of the training; in 2002, all of the members would be arrested in either the United States or, in Mukhtar al-Bakri's case, in Bahrain. The members were Yaseinn Taher, Shafal Mosed, Mukhtar al-Bakri, Sahim Alwan, Yahya Goba, and Faysal Galab.
